Two/three points:

  1. Quicken files consist of a set of files, of which the qdf file is the most important, but it probably cannot be used to completely rebuild the whole data set. You would need to send all the files that have the same name as that particular qdf, but different extensions.

  1. Obviously, your friend needs to have the Quicken program installed. The data are encrypted by Quicken, whether or not you have set a password for the file.

  2. Your friend's Quicken needs to be the same version and updated to the same revision as the version you use, or it needs to be a newer, more recent version.

Another point: If you have personal data in the file, be aware that there are plenty of "recovery" programs around to help a malicious person gain access to the data.

Finally, and MOST IMPORTANTLY: You are announcing to the world, using an apparently real email address that you use Quicken. I sugggest very strongly:

A: Update your antivirus software and firewall software B: In the future use a false email address or munge it. See

DO that NOW!!!!

Thank you for your suggestions. Because I am new to this, I am sure I have done some very dumb things. I clicked on the link to munge my e-mail address. I am sending this to see if it worked. Did I do a good job, or should I work on it some more?

Thanks again for all your help. Do I need to change the munged e-mail address again, because this is a public forum and the "bad guys" will have the previous posts' information???

Thanks, Marie

Marie, That's a good job. It is highly unlikely that there is a cable1dot.net domain, I checked, but my browser couldn't find it. That's important, because you wouldn't want someone real to get your spam. On the other hand, I wouldn't reuse the mmurrell name, but that's up to you.

In the off-chance that it does exist, many recommend using .invalid vs .net/,com. The invalid extension will mean that a mailserver will never send the message out of their server. Your use of cable1dot.net means a mail server will attempt to deliver the message. It will bounce but it means added traffic on the internet. A better domain would be something like sample.invalid or invalid.invalid.
